What's New at the Library
ARE YOU INTERESTED IN CELEBRATING YOU?
graphic-globe-people-sm.gifEast Brunswick Public Library recognizes the rich diversity of our residents as well as the many languages, cultures and backgrounds that make up our community. We are creating a "Celebrating You" table in the library to honor any resident who is interested in participating. 

The "Celebrating You" table is a dedicated space for you to share your unique background, culture, holidays or traditions with the community. You can bring artifacts, books or any special items from home that help visualize your culture.

This is a chance to celebrate you so that everyone who passes through the library doors can appreciate the many different people that make up our community. If you are interested in creating a table, please contact Karen Parry, Information Services Manager, at 732-390-6764.
